Forms Overview

We have 2 types of forms in Eventfinity - Survey & Polling type forms and Registration forms. The difference between these is described below.


Survey & Polling forms

This can be found under the Content section and includes attendee surveys, live polls, and lead retrieval forms. An attendee must be logged in to Eventfinity to access these forms. Usually this is through an event portal website, or Eventfinity container app. You may attach a form to a banner, button, side navigation item, main stage, or to an agenda item by selecting the Forms plugin and selecting the form you'd like to link.

There are 3 different submission types to choose from for regular forms, depending on the desired access you'd like to give attendees to the form:



Registration forms

Registration forms are used to either create new attendees in an event (open registration forms - no login required), or to update existing attendees' profile information (requires login). The latter can be configured to be done by either the attendee themselves by providing them a login to edit their profile, or by an org admin or client responsible for editing/updating/registering attendees on their behalf. 



The essential difference between regular forms and registration forms is that registration forms directly and immediately affect an attendee's profile information, whereas regular forms simply submit to a downloadable report and does not change the attendee's data. 

Regular forms must also be accessed with an auth token, ie. an attendee must be logged in - for example, through the Eventfinity event app.

Registration forms can be accessed independent of any login, but if it is accessed via a login, it will show the attendee's existing data, if any, for the visible fields.
